When using tomb forge test.tomb.key, the following occurs: Screenshot This repeats until I terminate the process from another terminal.

Which Tomb version are you using?

ghost commented 10 years ago

The output of tomb --version is as follows:

This issue also occurs when using the latest stable version (1.5.3), though the ask_password messages do not appear, only the tomb warnings.

It looks like there's something wrong with pinentry. I see you are not running X, so you should install pinentry-curses instead of pinentry-gtk. That's probably causing the problems.

ghost commented 10 years ago

I can't seem to find a pinentry-curses package in the Arch package db. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=pinentry-curses

EDIT: Nevermind. Turns out it was already installed with the pinentry package.

I tried appending pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-curses to ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf, but to no avail, the problem persists.

boyska commented 10 years ago

In archlinux, pinentry-curses is included in pinentry package

melon3r commented 10 years ago

Yeah, I see. I've never used Arch... Is there anything similar to the update-alternatives from Debian?

melon3r commented 10 years ago

@rossotorres Tomb calls pinentry directly, so ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf has no effect.

Problem solved! A simple sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/pinentry-curses /usr/bin/pinentry did it! Thanks for the quick help, everyone! :)
